Thank you for your question!

Getting orders is the most important stage in the process of learning PPT, and your question is very representative.

The three major factors that affect getting orders: technology, channels and experience.

Since you asked about channels, I will focus on channels here.

Usually, channels are divided into Taobao platform, recommendations from others, and contracts signed by old customers. Customization prices are also gradually increasing. Of course, there is no shortage of orders if all three channels are available.

Generally speaking, many people will stay in the stage of receiving orders from Taobao. Because the price is low, the requirements are not high, so the technical improvement is not obvious, so it is difficult to get orders that they are satisfied with.

So how to go from the first stage (Taobao orders) to the second stage (recommendations from others)?

This requires a little operational skills. Designers must promote their works through channels that they can control (their own circle of friends/public accounts/TikTok and other platforms) to gain more trust and bring in orders.

For example, most people will post their works on WeChat Moments and official accounts, but 80% of people do this and it seems to have no effect.

Suppose when you post on WeChat Moments, add a sentence [Like if interested, private message if you want a PDF file], then it is very clear what effect each WeChat Moments can produce.

Likes represent liking, and private messages generate trust. Over time, more and more people will see your work, and you will see results if you put advertisements like [I am available to take orders recently] on WeChat Moments.

In addition, for example, official accounts. Most people will post some dry goods articles, but it is actually better to do real customer case analysis, which not only shows their own design level, but also reflects their own teaching level, and there are more opportunities at this time.

Many people will say that they have not done customization for others, can they use exercises as cases? Of course you can, every exercise is a real-life exercise!

Finally, here are 3 suggestions for all students who want to take orders:

1/Update your work regularly to increase your clients’ trust in you

2/Establish good relationships with clients, build personal reputation, and increase referrals

3/Spend more time in different circles to establish more channels for taking orders
